On Saturday, October 27, 2018, the City of Goodyear celebrated its 11th Make a Difference Day, which coincides with Make a Difference Day held nationally every 4th Saturday of October. It is the largest national day of volunteering - a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors.

Nearly 300 volunteers from several community groups completed projects that helped the City's residents and improved its neighborhoods. Volunteers worked together on 12 projects, including:

Planting trees and shrubs at Goodyear Community Park,

Spreading wood chips at Falcon, Portales and Rio Paseo parks,

Constructing a code-compliant driveway and cleaning the yard of a low-income senior Goodyear resident,

Cleaning up right of ways on sections of Estrella Parkway and Cotton lane, and
